Description
The prevailing method to stabilize rock masses around tunnels, mines and slopes is without a doubt rock bolts. Essential to the New Australian Tunneling Method, rock bolts work by “knitting” the rock mass together so it doesn’t fall loose. In some cases you’ll see wire mesh accompanying rock bolts, depending on the environment.
